and do you believe that politics are influencing present it by this decision to oppose the deal? and i wouldn't mind mister present if you answer that one too high us on the issue that you have res. we understand the discussions are underway between the policies. we hope fees, discussions will all fall in directions that would be positive for both sides. japan believes that appropriate procedures based on law is being implemented by the u. s. government. japan is the largest investor to the united states. jeff and his businesses employed close to 1000000 workers into united states. and investment from japan to the us can only increase upwards in dimension years to come. and we wish to submit this when we relationship. thank you.

a behavior that is the risk of by lambda in order to avoid the void and expect that's a void, a divide. how should it defend and us respond? let me then take that question 1st. at this summit, we confirmed that the united states and japan will resolutely defend and bolster a free and open international order based on the rule of law. and that japan at the united states as global partners shall work together and shoot for that purpose on challenges concerning china. let's say, you know, it's kinda not so a yes, including the point you raised the object into unilateral effects to change that of school by force or shall we concord at japan and united states as global partners show we're getting close or the nation is or

do you need less, i guess. yeah. and also as i said previously for the kids, so we will continue our dialogue with i china. and we will cooperate with china intact in from and jo inches and at the president. and i don't for the importance of such dialogue as well, to me, based on this knowledge trust where people are allied in the united states to seem to but we will continue to call on china to fulfill its responsibilities as a major power to steal, to defense policy ok, thank you. which i have cuz it only embrace is to coffee has sent me some mutual strategic revisions like we have a china and establish

a constructive and stable japan china relationship through efforts by both sides. that has been, my customer didn't position that i have a power. we will continue to seek close communication with china at all levels as a disguise. that's it for me to know. first of all, we keep improving our lines of communication to one another. that's united states in china we. i met, i've pretty recently spoken at length with president she and we've agreed that we were number one, have personal contact with one another whenever we'd want to discuss anything. so the be no, nothing left is no, no, no nothings substitute as they say between the cup and the lips. so we know exactly what the other team is thinking. number one. and so we had a long discussion last uh, almost, i guess almost 2 weeks ago now. and uh,

the best way to reduce the chances of miscalculation and misunderstanding is number one, number 2. in our alliance, we have what japan is. a purely defensive in nature. it's a defensive alliance, and the things we discussed today improve our cooperation and our, and our surely about defense and readiness is not aimed at any one nation or threats of the region. and it doesn't have any to do conflict. and so this is about restoring stability in the regions, and i think we have a chance for julia. ok, 3rd, the next question is who i call on next time. i'm sitting here on my list here. i apologize. really of a p. thank you. my 1st question would go to both of you mr. president and mr. prime minister is the pass for japan to become

a form member of focus. and then we have a 2nd question for you, mister president. you know, saying that benjamin meant that you know, is making a mistake in gaza whether you're willing to do to make him change his type digit and would you consider conditioning me to 3, a 2 as well. thank you. hi, uh cool. mm. are saying to you, oh gosh, your question about this? i know this fund for the cheek you of the country the he is going to contribute to the piece instead of the t o. the ration and the full we have consistency supported focus has inc, you'll say that the participants are focus u. s. u k, australia, by using such countries by my, by the coalition ship or not, his actual locations. we have established,

it does have us relationships. but for japan to have a direct quote question with locus, nothing has been decided to move this movement going forward with u. s. u k. 4 with australia, with such countries while you are in biological or multi rental frameworks, we will continue the corporation for the truck so that they will continue to be consider at the moment about the relationship potential pending locus. that's it. with regard to my discussions with a b, b then you know, promising to know as well as our relationship with this room. i have been very blunt, straightforward with the prime minister, as well as his work cabinet, as well as the can. and the fact of the matter is that the i b b and i have a long discussion and he agreed to do several things that related to number one,

getting more agencies and both food and medicine and the guys and reducing significantly the time the civilian casualties in any action taken in the region, and thus far away that's tied to the hostages. there are a number of hostages that are being held by, by the, the last and as just yesterday, we're meeting with the vice president or a national security advisor before that. and then and there american hostages as well, and they know how committed we are and the whole team to getting their loved ones home. we're not gonna stop until we do a new proposal on the table. and bill burns, let the effort to, uh for us are great for us work. there's a now to a moss. they need to move on a proposal there's a made and as i said, we'll get these hostages home where they belong, but also bring back a 6 weeks cease fire that we need now. and the fact is that where they're getting

in somewhere in the last 3 days over a 100 trucks is not enough, but needs even more. and there's one more open ended, it has to take place in the north. so we'll see what he does in terms of meeting the commitments he made for the last mr. she needs a police and it's kendall, she missed the most 10 kids she needs to of n h k. i the question to both of you as prime minister keisha the mentioned the abduction issues, north korea i believe, was discussed in prime minister. you have the express to wish to have everything judgment to with kim, to and on that. but the see that that duction is already resolved, which means that they are refusing to enter that meeting. what to do to push the button above to the,

to the 8 summit. and that what the engagement till to ask present it by didn't present by didn't my question, what did you hear from 5 minutes to case you that and go to see what ups of ation and feeding your president and with a new can me so issues. what is your position? do you support the summit between japan and north korea? thank you. first of all, if i may, just regarding my somebody meeting with the president invited is about north korea including the, the, me. so the nuclear issues we have discussed in regarding the, the increasingly loading situation we have agreed to, to continue close according nation. and to on top of that, it would be that could that to the window or for a discussion with north korea is open and to we discussed at the to japan,

u. s. a. japan, us and over k will continue to book closely to, to get a. so i also asked for the continued understanding corporation for the immediate resolution of the abduction issues and depressed. and that's by then once again, it gave myself a very strong assurance regarding the recent announcement by north korea. i will refrain from commenting on each interview announcement, but north korea, but as a has the mission and repeatedly, based on other perspectives that establishment of a meaningful relation between japan and north korea is in the interest of both to funding north korea. and to that it would be usually it beneficial to the piece and the stability of the region. my policy is to aim for a summit meeting with north korea to resolve various issues and would advise,

however, consultation directly to my instruction. and that remains on change. that is my response. we did discuss this issue. we both agreed that t p r k must, must also address a serious human rights for the amount of time and concerns of the are nice community, including immediate resolution is induction issue. and you know, the prime minister has just spoken to the potential what his plans may mean and welcome. i welcome the opportunity. we welcome the opportunity for allies to initiate dialogue with a democratic republic of korea. so i've said many times we're open to dialogue ourselves at any time, but, but without pre conditions, dpr k, 5 face in the, in the japan are facing the prime minister and i think is, we're seeking a dialogue with them is a good thing. positive. thank you. the

and that's anyhow, he didn't really make any comments about the assassination that happened just a short while ago. office 9, honey is sons and a grandkids. and he wasn't even asked about that, but he tell us what he said on, on, nothing yahoo and how he sees the gauze of war and the cease fire told well, what's notable is 1st of all the press conference between the prime minister and the president was an hour late and one could potentially speculate, but that might have had something to do with the developments. and the fact that there was the breaking news regarding the killing of the sons and grandchildren of the home us political leader. that certainly would be something that we know was of concern to the us presidents. they acknowledge that the beginning of the press conference that they did discuss the war and israel's war on gaza. the japanese

prime minister saying, but they themselves, the japan had been instrumental as well and trying to bring about a ceasefire and bring about humanitarian aid in addition to the united states. so there may have been added discussions as a result of those developments further. we also know that the us president, there was dr. new, the question that was quite direct by one of the reporters about the comments that he had made just one day earlier by when he was asked by spanish language network here in the united states. and he responded by, it was sharply criticizing v as really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, about his handling of israel's foreign gauze. a colleague of the mistake and suggesting that is as the prime minister has essentially killed $33000.00 plus palestinians for his political survival. and that she doesn't agree with the

approach when asked about these comments, july and kind of dialed it back a bit. and when he was asked just now in the rose garden, whether or not he was considering withholding military aid that more than 3000000000 annually. that's given by the united states is re. 2 if you wouldn't answer the question, and we know that what has been suggested by the united states is israel does not. um, sort of meet benchmarks, the in terms of humanitarian a that there could be a policy shift. 5, the united states front of all that view as president said, just now is that they're following through on steps, but he wouldn't answer whether or not he was going to hold back that aid as has been suggested, a kimberly we just have about 45 seconds left or so, but just tell us what was the take away messages from, from the state, visit of the japanese prime minister. this very quickly. what we know is the big

focus is that it's looming. it's really about looking ahead to tomorrow. and that is that they are discussing about the cooperation with regard to defense. these 2 leaders in japan and the united states are really trying to settle some differences amongst themselves so that they could work together collectively when the philippine liter joins them on thursday. right, we'll be discussing when they have their try lateral summit, the issues in the south china sea. okay, kimberly thank you so much for wrapping that up for us from the white house. well, that brings us to the end of the news hour on al jazeera. we will take a short break, and we'll be back with another hour of news. and in the meantime, you can always add online. our website is, i'll just you or dot com there. you'll find all the latest news and all the latest headlines out of gaza and right around the world. we'll take a short break and we'll see you in a minute. the
